Important Dates and News

All Semesters

CCC uses your current registration schedule to calculate your charges in accordance with CSCU Board of Regents (BOR)-approved Tuition and Fee Rate Tables. All tuition and fee charges are subject to change by the BOR.

While CCC reserves the right to cancel unpaid registrations, as long as your name is on an official roster your account will be charged and you will earn a grade for the course – whether you attended it or not.

If you change your mind about taking a course(s) after you register, you are required to officially drop it whether or not you have made payment or have attended. Do not assume that your account will be dropped for non-payment.

You will continue to be responsible for all charges until you officially drop the class regardless of your payment status. Dropping a course before the 1st day of classes is the only way to ensure your account will not be charged.

Without exception, once your registration is cancelled you won’t be able to re-register unless there is space available in the class.

Summer/Winter Semester

Full payment is due at the time of registration unless you have a 3rd party arrangement or have financial aid.

Installment payment plans are available for the Summer courses but not available for Winter courses.

Fall/Spring Semester

All fees are due at the time of registration and tuition is due on the date the college has specified each semester in the term catalog.

Installment payment plans are available.
